The Daily Me – ????????? ????????

Thank you, ????????? ????????, for signing up for The Daily Me. Our search engine has combed the Internet for up to the minute news items that fit the profile you have so painstakingly filled out for us. Then, we weighted the probability that you would be interested in these articles against forms which showed what people with tastes similar to yours have liked reading in the past. Then, we thought we might introduce you to delivery boy Alfonso de Trubshaw. Further then, somebody looked up from the penis enlargement spam that she says she was working diligently to remove from her hard drive and asked why a publication that is distributed by email needs a delivery boy. Hmm. We’ll have to ask Alfonso that the next time he comes in for his pay check… Enjoy,

If That Doesn’t Satisfy Some People, The Government Can Always Force Mail In Voters To Show Their Faces At Polling Booths

The Stephen Harper government has introduced an amendment to the Canada Elections Act that requires somebody who shows up at a polling booth to show their face before they are allowed to vote. This is not a racist slap at Muslim women who wear Hijabs, a veil that covers their face for religious reasons, the government insisted, since everybody who votes will be treated equally. The roughly 80,000 Canadians who vote by mail will not be allowed to wear veils while they cast their ballot, either.

For A Cultural Nationalist, That Stings

According to Blender Magazine, Rush drummer Neil Peart was the second worst lyricist in rock, beaten only by Sting of the Police. Response from Rush fans was immediate and vehement.

“Sucks, man! Rush is number one!”

“Are you [EXPLETIVE] serious? The suckass Police are not better at Rush than anything!”

“[EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE], man! Sting couldn’t [EXPLETIVE] the [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE] of Neil Peart. Rush [EXPLETIVE] rules!”

You have to admire their dedication, although you might wonder if they’re entirely clear on the concept.

Condemnation If Necessary, But Not Necessarily Condemnation

Pakistan’s President General Pervez Musharraf has suspended his country’s constitution, fired the country’s chief judge, cut phone lines in the capital Islamabad and forced all but state run Pakistan Television off the airways. I guess those debates about whether or not Musharraf should continue to wear his military uniform if he won the next election, scheduled for January, are kind of moot.

Musharraf’s moves do cause a problem for the United States. When we give Pakistan its monthly check for helping us out in the war in Iraq, do we make it out to “President for Life” or “Dear Leader?”

CAW’ll Be Waiting

The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) has signed an historic agreement with Magna, International which will give the union the freedom to sign up workers while at the same time giving Magna a guarantee that they will not strike. So, the CAW can have as many members as it wants, it just won’t have the power to do anything for them.

This is progress.

After The Surrealists Turn Pro, They Strike For Better Moustaches

Oh, my [EXPLETIVE] what a week! Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf suspends the democratic niceties and declares martial law! The United States wastes no time in upping the inflammatory anti-government rhetoric and tightening the noose around…Iran! Meanwhile, Turkey’s massed troops along its border are a dirty look away from invading the Kurdish part of Iraq! And…wait…there’s something else…oh, yeah: Israeli and Palestinian peace talks look doomed…AGAIN! Could this be it? Is the tinderbox that is the Middle East– where everybody has lit matches because the electricity only works for two hours a day – finally going to ignite into the third World War that the Bush administration has been talking up?

I can’t tell you! …because the writers have gone on strike in Hollywood and this show is actually a rerun.
